Free Video to GIF Converter

Turn a short clip into an animated GIF. Works best on screen recordings and simple footage.

Drop a video here or click to choose files

Runs entirely on your device using your browser’s built-in video engine (WebCodecs). Needs a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox on desktop.

Drop a video, choose the part you want (up to 10 seconds — GIFs get huge fast), pick a frame rate and size, and download an animated GIF.

Best suited to screen recordings, game clips, UI demos and other simple, flat-coloured footage. Photographic or very busy video can show visible colour banding, since GIF only supports 256 colours at a time and this encoder doesn’t use dithering to soften that limit.

How to use it

  1. Drop your video.
  2. Trim to the part you want (10 seconds max) and pick a frame rate and size.
  3. Download the GIF.

Frequently asked questions

Why only 10 seconds?

GIF is an old, inefficient format: even a few seconds at a decent size and frame rate can produce a huge file. 10 seconds keeps results in a reasonable size range; for anything longer, consider the video compressor instead.

Why do the colours look a bit off / banded?

GIF can only use 256 colours per frame (well, per animation, here — one shared colour palette is used for the whole clip to keep the file size down). That’s enough for simple, flat graphics but shows visible banding on photographic content or very colourful footage.

Can I make a bigger or longer GIF?

Not with this tool — the 10-second cap and size options are deliberately limited to keep results usable. If you need something bigger, most destinations (Discord, messaging apps) accept a short compressed video instead of a GIF.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
